When you decide to eat in response to feelings, or cave in to cravings, you’re essentially saying that putting food in my face is: + more important than my health. + more important than my weight. + more important than my relationships with others and myself. + more important than my promises, intentions, and goals. + more important than my self-respect, self-esteem, and self-confidence.

What’s worse is you might *think* you’re saying that your emotions are actually more important than all of those things – but eating doesn’t actually address them. Eating is a suppression of emotions. It’s a repression of self. So you are really saying that eating is (again) more important than the experiencing, expressing, and resolving of feelings.

There’s #nojudgment here, we each have our own path to walk. But is this the kind of food-based hell-prison you want to live in?
